By NY Times Bestselling Author Bob Mayer writing as Robert Doherty
(author of the bestselling Area 51 series) Over 1,000,000 copies
sold Amazon Hot 100 in print. Amazon Top 10 in Thriller.
Spell-binding Will keep you on the edge of your seat. Call it
techno-thriller, call it science fiction, call it just terrific
story-telling. Terry Brooks, #1 NY Times Bestselling author of the
Shannara series and Star Wars Phantom Menace What if the Shadow
that destroyed Atlantis 10,000 years ago, comes back to threaten
our present world? Some say the world will end in fire, some say in
ice. Thus Robert Frost warns the President of the Shadow at the
beginning of Atlantis Gate, before departing on a classified
mission on the first nuclear submarine, the USS Nautilus. A war
beyond time. An enemy beyond space. A thriller beyond your wildest
dreams. Three areas on the Earth s surface defy explanation: the
Bermuda Triangle, the Devil s Sea of Japan, and a small region of
Cambodia. Inside these realms, planes have disappeared, ships have
vanished, and, in Cambodia, an entire civilization has been lost
leaving behind Angkor Wat. In 480 BC, King Leonidas leads 300
Spartans to Thermopylae to try to delay the massive Persian Army.
Known only to the King, they have an even more important mission:
to escort and protect a powerful priestess to a mystical gate
through which she can travel to help save the world. It s a mission
for which Leonidas will gladly sacrifice his own, and his men s
lives. On the Nazca Plain in Chile, an old woman has been studying
ancient lines in the ground for decades. Now she finally
understands their terrifying message. In the present, tremors deep
inside the Earth threaten all civilizations. Eric Dane races
against time to find the key to stopping this assault from the dark
Shadow. He must reach across time to the Spartans and the priestess
they escort to find the key to this defense. And in doing so, he
must travel to the Space Between, the boundary between our world,
and the world of the Shadow. If you enjoyed LOST, you ll love this
book and be amazed at the similarities in concept (although this
book was published before Lost).

This disturbing study of the struggle of the Chippewa and Ottawa
Indians for traditional fishing rights in the Great Lakes raises
legal and public policy questions that extend far beyond that
region. Who owns common-property resources in the United States?
Who should manage those resources and for whose benefit? Should
Native Americans be accorded rights which supersede those of other
citizens and restrict their economic and recreational
opportunities? Can federal courts successfully resolve conflicts
over resource allocation? In the pages of this book Robert Doherty
follows the conflict from the 1960s, when Native Americans renewed
their struggle to maintain their treaty rights, through to the
confrontations that persist to this day. During the 1.970s the
Chippewas of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, through federal court
decisions, secured recognition of Native American rights to fish
without state control. An ugly campaign of protest ensued, with
vigilante groups and local police attempting to intimidate Chippewa
and Ottawa fishermen. With the help of the Reagan administration,
Michigan officials eventually circumvented the courts and regained
a large measure of their former power in a negotiated agreement.
Robert Doherty writes about these events with knowledge gained from
documentary and media sources and from firsthand experience. He has
been in the courts and on the beaches where confrontations took
place and has interviewed many of the participants on both sides.
For a while he even operated his own fishing enterprise. The result
of his involvement is a provocative book, not afraid to take the
side of what Doherty perceives as an oppressed minority group and
to make policy recommendations to correct injustice.
